Tales of Dead Earth - Painting Arzakh

And on we go with the second member of the fourheaded Tales of Dead Earth-Squad.
Undead but not un-bad SpaceZombie Arzakh.
I'm really a big fan of Krika's Undead Spaceguys. That's why we have a big framed print of another dead Astronauts hanging in our hallway. Yes, we're THAT kind of nerdy!
But back to topic.

I did a little research about Spacesuits and stuff like that and ended up with one of my favorite movies: Mars Attacks.

So Arzakh got a blue suit like the martians. He also got white gloves and a white cap. To make him easier to find he has a orange collar.

Suit

The Suit was the first thing I painted because it's the biggest part of the miniature and the messiest.

I started of with a Stegadon Scale Green basecoat, heavily washed the Coelia Camoshade. After that I brushed to layers of Sotek Green and a (very!) careful layer of Temple Guard Blue as Highlight.

Maybe he can use a layer of Guilliman Blue as Glaze on top.

Gloves and Cap

To get the Gloves and Cap creamy white I basecoated them with Rakarth Flesh, washed them with Reikland Fleshshade and added Flayed One Flesh and Palid Wych Flesh as layers.

Face

He's undead... so give him an unhealthy facecolor. I decided to go with my receipe I use for my servitors and started with Rakarth Flesh, added some Athonian Camoshade for the unhealthy look followed by Krieg Khaki and finally some Palid Wych Flesh.
